Help needed in Tennessee

[melindanowers]

Hello, I am Melinda from Nashville and live on a small-ish farm:) We found a weak baby sq. Saturday. Have been feeding Pedialyte since then and he has perked up, pooped, peed (once that I can tell) and generally doing well. From research, maybe about 6 wks old? Anyway, waiting on rehabber to call this morning to help with transport to their facility. It's pretty far from me.
Anyway, this morning, not as eager to eat. Am leaving to get the goat milk concoction in a few. Any other suggestions as I'm not sure when he'll get to the place, if at all.
Wasn't really in the market to become a squirrel mom right now....cat will be very put out:)
Thanks, Melinda

If you check back often I am sure someone on here can find someone who will take the baby. There are people from all over on this board and should be able to find him/her a home. If you got him Saturday I am sure he is pretty hungry by now with just having pedialyte. Has he been warmed? He should be before u feed him anything. I would say go ahead and get the goats milk but someone can help find him a home on here. I dont know the members here well or i would try to contact someone myself. I am assuming since u know about the goats milk that u have read the thread on how to feed him and how much... if not I can direct you to that.

Thanks, had to wait for storm to pass...headed out now. Yes, been reading a lot, just interested plus wanted to do the right thing. And yes, he's in burrowed in a sweater of all things in a box on a heating pad on low.
Thanks.

Hi Melinda..and welcome to TSB:Welcome :wave123
Please no more pedialyte... the salt will cause dehydration after 24 hours.
Yes please start the Goatsmilk formula asap.
Did you say someone is on their way to get the baby?
or are you looking for someone to take the baby?

[melindanowers]

No, no one is on their way....waiting for rehab place to call to see if someone can get him. Haven't heard so doubtful. Anyway, got goat milk stuff, getting ready to feed.
If anyone in Nashville likes to do this, feel free to let me know!
Thanks for the welcome:)

He took the goat milk/ cream/ yogurt mix. Is there anyone close to Nashville that does this besides Waldon's Puddle? They haven't called back.
Thanks...

Melinda, the foloowing is a list of all TN rehabbers. You should be able to find one in your county or a close one.

I am seeing an email alert with a private message with the word gator in it but there's no text. Is that someone from here?
